Boston trio Kal Marks are getting ready to release their sophomore full length, Life Is Murder, on September 17.

Kal Marks are a trio, not a "dude."

Listen to the first single, full of rising and falling tension, below. It's the title track. It's like what Weezer would sound like if they recorded in a tin can, and we LOVE that sound.

Life Is Murder marks a change for the band thanks to an exceptional solidified line-up of musicians as well as the band's first album recorded in a professional studio. The results are stunning. An extremely personal record, Carl Shane (vocals/guitars) says the name Life Is Murder is “roughly about dealing with depression and the struggle of keeping a band and my life together."
